Make sure to use toggle bolts or anchors if you’re not drilling into a stud—no one wants a surprise plant drop!
2. Wall-Mounted Swing Arm Hooks
These hooks add both functionality and flair. A swing arm lets you adjust the position of your plant to get the right light angle or just change things up visually.
Why it works:
They’re perfect near windows or reading nooks where sunlight angles change throughout the day.
3. Curtain Rod Plant Hangers
Yes—you can totally hang plants from a curtain rod! This hack is genius for renters or anyone who doesn’t want to drill new holes.
Use S-hooks or macrame holders to attach trailing plants for an effortlessly cool vibe.
4. Multi-Hook Ceiling Plates
Think of this like a plant chandelier! These ceiling plates hold multiple hooks and are ideal if you have a few lightweight plants you want to group together.
Pro Tip:
Balance the weight evenly to avoid sagging or tipping.
5. Shelf Bracket Hooks
A double-duty design—use the shelf for books or candles and the bracket underneath to hang your favorite leafy friend. It’s a chic and clever use of wall space!
Perfect for:
Cozy corners entryways or even above your kitchen sink.
6. Industrial Pipe Hooks
Go bold and bring in some edge with industrial-style hooks or rails. The raw metal look pairs great with modern or minimalist decor and gives your plant styling some extra punch.

Succulents or cacti in geometric planters for a bold statement.
7. Adhesive Ceiling Hooks (For Renters)
If you’re in a rental and can’t drill adhesive ceiling hooks are a game-changer. Just make sure to choose hooks with strong hold and low weight-bearing plants.
Warning:
Don’t use them with heavy planters—think air plants or small trailing vines only.
8. Window Frame Hooks
Light-loving plants like string of pearls or ivy thrive hanging near windows. Install a hook directly into your window frame trim (if allowed) or use tension rods to hang hooks from the top.
This gives your plants the best light in the house and makes your windows look super stylish too!

Want to wow your guests? Install a hook in the corner of your ceiling and hang a large trailing plant like monstera or golden pothos.
Corners often go unused but with the right plant they can totally transform a room.
Final Thoughts:
Whether you’re aiming for function fashion or both indoor plant hooks give your space that extra oomph without cluttering your surfaces. They’re easy to install renter-friendly (in many cases) and super fun to decorate with.
So go ahead—let those plants hang out in style!
